BYOD Program @ CGHS

The Digital Education Revolution student laptop program ends at the end of 2013. In 2014 the school will therefore be implementing a ‘Bring Your Own Device’ (BYOD) Program ie. laptop or tablet for students in Years 7 - 9.

The BYOD Program requires all students in Years 7 - 9 to bring their own computing device to school each day. This personal computing device does need to meet Device Specifications that are recommended by the school (available on the school’s website).

The device specifications identify the minimum system requirements/hardware specifications for student devices and also offer guidance on some suggested makes and models so that parents are fully informed about requirements to ensure that each student’s BYOD enhances their learning.

Students in 2014 in Years 10 - 12 have previously been issued with a laptop as part of the Digital Education Revolution. Students in these years may also have their own computing device that they would prefer to use, rather than using the DER laptop that was issued to them. These students are encouraged to bring their preferred device to school each day and donate their DER device to the school.

• The personal device must be able to be brought to school every school day and be solely thestudent’s to use throughout the school day.

• Students and Parents are responsible for ensuring the device brought to school meets all the requirements of the Device Specifications. A device which does not meet the Specifications will not be permitted access to school networks and services.

• Prior to bringing a personal device for the first time, students and their parents must read and sign the BYOD User Charter which sets out the responsibilities and expectations for use of the personal device at Canterbury Girls High School.

• Students must then use their device in accordance with the school's Cyber Safety Policy, the Department of Education and Communities’ policy Online Communication Services: Acceptable Usage and their BYOD User Charter.

What do I need to do now?− BYOD Program @ CGHS Survey

Please take the time to complete the survey using the link on the school’s website to assist the school with planning for 2014.
